What NOT To Do In Interviews
Jan 19th, 2007 by John Anthony
Jane and I have been posting a lot recently about interview skills and resume writing. To further explore interview skills and to get a laugh this Friday morning, I thought I’d include a short Borat video on what NOT to do in an interview.
[...] There are lots of other posts on career advice, finance, and a funny clip of What Not To Do At Interviews! [...]
2 common thing staht peolpe forget in an MBA admission interview
1) Not timing yourself: Many candidates overlook
this singular most important aspect. Its not just
about a time limit to the overall Personal Interview
but timing your repsonses to keep it curt and
relevant. It is a fact that the average retention of the
human mind is 2 minutes of what you said. Same
applies to the panel
2) Watch the body language: Hands to yourself. Do
not make the mistake of touching a candidate in an
attempt to quieten him/her. You will get automatic
negative points. It is OK to emphasize points with
your hand but never to touch a candidate. Always
watch how you use your body to talk in front of a
mirror to know whether you appear composed or a
juggling clown.
